Which Batman v. Superman version to watch?
🕑 Added 2024-12-10 17:00:10 +0000 UTCThis is still a few weeks away, but I'm going to ask now while I'm thinking about it! Which version of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice should I watch? Theatrical Releases are typically the most readily available, but this is a unique case where both versions are available to stream on Max and Prime Video without having to rent it.

Ok cool
Byrd N. Hand
She already has. It'll probably be up tomorrow.

Watch Man Of Steel first before watching Batman VS Superman Dawn Of Justice

It's a toss-up between the Ultimate Edition and the unlisted people's choice of 'this movie sucks so it don't mattuh'. I've not watched any version of "Batman v. Superman". So-o-o... in the immortal words of Rob Reiner's mom when it comes to Addie's movie pick, "I'll have what SHE'S having!"
Matthew Folmer
Honestly, skipping the vast majority of the Snyderverse wouldn't be the worst thing. Man of Steel was okay, the first Wonder Woman was pretty decent, and the first Aquaman movie was good. Pretty much everything else with Zack Snyder's input was various flavors of garbage.

Abstaining your vote is the only way to go in this occasion.
Ed Garland
OK, Thank you.
Byrd N. Hand
She just added it to her Letterboxd, so yes.
phillip giroux
Can I vote for neither?
Joe Blankenship
I'm not crazy about it either. I kinda wish it had just been a solo Batfleck movie.
Joe Blankenship
I voted for the shorter one.
Alex Vazquez
Please remember to always check for END-CREDIT SCENES just like the MCU!
Nathan Swapp
With Snyder, always pick the extended versions. The dude can do visuals but needs extra time to make the story more complete.
Phil Stubblefield
@Thats MR. Baldamort I *knew* you would step up to the challenge, kind sir! π
Phil Stubblefield
TBH, I enjoyed Wonder Woman (2017) very much! For someone like me who never read the comic books (oops, graphic novels!), I enjoyed seeing the backstory (or "a" backstory), and I thought Gal Gadot knocked it out of the park.
Aldo Gonzales
I wish you had seen the extended edition of Days of Future Past.
Ed Garland
OK , Thank you for explaining and both your comments.
The Dingo
I never said it was the worst movie you've seen. Just that I don't care which she watches because it was one of the worst that I, me, myself has seen. Not sure why you think I think my opinion is everyone's opinion.
Thats MR. Baldamort
you β everyone

The Snyder Cut is justice League. Ultimate edition is BvS
Rich
Yes
The Dingo
Neither; one of the worst movies I can recall seeing
Ed Garland
Addie will watch Man of Steel Before whichever Dawn of Justice version, she goes with correct?
Doug
No strong opinion on this one since theyβre both on Max. π€·ββοΈ
Ed Garland
Confused...is The Ultimate Edition, NOT the same as the Zack Snyder edition?? Or is it one and the same, just referred to without the "Zach Snyder" here?? Thank you ~
Doug
To be fair, while there are definitely some not so great DC films, there are some good ones (in particular I think Wonder Woman, Shazam, and Gunnβs The Suicide Squad are all very good!)
Julian San
I usually always recommend the theatrical cut because itβs the film everyone first saw and knows and is used to. But this directors cut really is a better movie and a more complete experience.
Glenn Houtchens
Since you also recently watched The Watchmen, may I also recommend that you review The Doomsday Clock series, where the Watchmen enter the DC Universe? It is available from Comicstorian and Comics Explained on you tube.
Kyle
I don't think the Ultimate Edition makes it a good movie, but I'd say it's definitely the better version.
Byrd N. Hand
Yep. Beyond "Superman," "Superman II," "Batman," and "Batman Returns," I really don't care about any of this. I hate that Addie is even considering going further beyond those movies into DC. But at least DC did a better job at catering to Gen-Xers like me, what with those aforementioned movies as well as the SuperFriends TV series and its subsequent spinoffs than Marvel ever did (beyond The Amazing Spider-Man and His Friends, what else was there for us? π€·ββοΈ).
Thats MR. Baldamort
ME I will, how dare you π¬
Kyle Brandon Sanger
'BvS: Ultimate Edition'. There's no doubt about it. The rated R version is the only version in my opinion. Afterwards, my advice would be Zack Snyder's 'Justice League' is the only way to go. Josstice League is a travesty. I love the Snyder trilogy.

The Ultimate Edition does give you more story but it is super long (No Pun Intended). Zack Snyder is notorious for his long movies and even longer directors cuts. In my opinion the theatrical version is fine to watch. Plus, I'm willing to bet that not al lot of people got the Ultimate Cut.
MattTheHazard
You need the ultimate edition for everything to make more/better sense in 'Zack Snyder's Justice League', which is another long watch for a movie, not that it's bloated.
Shawn Goforth
I gotta go with neither as well.

The longer edition provides crucial detail as to why the whole scheme with Lex was cooked up to begin with. It was a baffling decision to remove it. Frankly, even with it things are confusing.
KingGoji94
Both aren't great imo
Phil Stubblefield
Does it matter? Is any DCEU movie worth watching? (Yes, this is troll... but who will still feel compelled to respond? π)
Ryan
I was hoping to seeβInjusticeβ π
Diiirk706
Neither.
Chris Shine
I miss Henry Cavill, he was perfect as Superman π’
Randee Carreno
Happy Tuesday, Addie! π I would definitely watch the Ultimate Edition. I personally like that one better than the theatrical one. Have a great day today! π
Randolph Tirazona
Superman 3!!!
Brian Leonard
Except for the Daredevil movie, I never recommend extended versions of movies.
aarswft
Ultimate. Thereβs a whole subplot that doesnβt make sense otherwise.
Alex Tan
Happy Tuesday, Addie. My vote belongs to the Ultimate Edition. In 2021, director Zack Snyder and colorist Stefan Sonnenfeld of Company 3 remastered the Ultimate Edition of BvS. That's the version that's on Max and it even has the IMAX scenes preserved in the full 1.43:1 format. In conclusion, that's the version you want.
